  3. Yeah, Lisa! Focus is a great theme for the year.

    Gina, I knew I had misplaced several words in the mess that is my email inbox, so thanks for reminding me. I'm so sorry!

  4. My word is memories. I want to focus on documenting old memories, especially before the story can't be told any longer. And secondly, not forge that it's still important to always be creating new memories, as well!

  6. My word is BELIEVE...

    Great quote:
    "Faith makes things possible.... but not easy."

    Another wonderful verse:
    "Be strong and courageous and get to work. Don't be frightened by the size of the task, for the Lord my God is with you; He will not forsake you. He will see to it that everything is finished correctly" - 1Chronicles 28:20 (TLB)

    I have really found strength, comfort and focus in these two quotes.

    Blessings,

  9. My word for this year is "INSPIRE." I want to inspire people to be creative and active this year. :)

  10. Susan, my word for this year is "Simplify". I have a need to simplify my life after this disastrous past year, to hold on to what's important and let go of what's not. To simplify so that I might begin life anew. To simplify and find a way to breathe again.
